Fish Eye Pinot Grigio

Name: Fish Eye
Color: White
Varietal: Pinot Grigio
Vintage: 2008
Country/State: California
Region: Various
Price: $7
Stars: 3.5 (out of 5)

I'm still not really a fan of Pinot Grigrio, but this one was recommended in several places and the price made it worthwhile to take a shot. The Fish Eye Pinot Grigio was a clear, pale straw color in the glass. It was pretty tasty, with lemon and green apple flavors dominating. The wine was well-balanced and highly drinkable.

We drank this wine with a dinner of fish and crab meat with pasta. It paired very well and was also nice on its own after dinner.

About This Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for my wife and I to keep track of and easily organize wines as we buy them, drink them, and review them. Although we have been drinking wine for years, we really developed a strong interest in wine in the late summer of 2008. From about August of 2008 through mid-March of 2009, we consumed approximately 35 bottles of wine. I have tried to keep track of these wines and our feelings about them, primarily through the use of Excel spreadsheets. I am hoping that this blog will allow us to accomplish some of these goals more effectively and interactively. I briefly summarized these wines in the first post of the blog. Subsequently, I will post more detailed notes regarding our tastings as we look to expand our palates and continue our journey of exploring the world of wine. Along the way, I will try to make notes about my wine-related influences and provide links to some of my favorite sources on the web. Occasionally, I may post about other life events or happenings in the world of sports and music, two of my other passions.
